Assets - Should I include this?

I've been going through the form and I have a car which is worth less than £1000 (an essential), I also have a motorbike which is in bits in the garage. The engine doesn't run and it's worth less than £200. (It's currently SORN and I've never had it on the road since owning it).
Should I declare that on the form?

When the OR checks with DVLA they will see it's registered to you, better to declare and tell them it's in pieces than for the OR to find out and think you're hiding an asset.Accept your past without regret, handle your present with confidence and face your future without fear0
